Linda Tanoa'i utilises conversation or casual chat to construct spaces of exchange and facilitate new events within a video performance‐based installation aesthetic. Her portable makeshift 'set' evokes TV 'lounges' where a host personality interviews their guests. Within this set Linda T gathered contributions from a variety of local artists and personalities, prioritising the gifting of voice to Maori and Pacific communities. Guests shared stories, music and poetry. Daily recordings were made and an accumulative archive produced. The past incarnations of the 'exchange space' are incorporated into the event and can be viewed concurrent with the live aspects of the performance. A significant part of the project, the dissemination of the recordings in the form of DVDs to participants and members of their community, remains personal and unseen within the performance. The principles embodied in this 'koha', the exchange of time, energy and communication, remains local and autonomous; not for public view but more so for the community to view themselves.
